As the savior, I only want to play single-player games.

"Ability user?"

“You could say that.” Kagura Tendou silently gathered information. Akabane called those who possessed mysterious powers “ability users”—a very common term.

"Are you from the common people? Or a remnant of the resistance?" The man in white was more inclined to believe it was the former. Many years ago, all ability users belonged to the resistance, and only the resistance could create ability users. They worked together with ordinary people for a common goal.

After the resistance collapsed, most of the remaining members were recruited by Chi Feng. A few who were unwilling were also on the internal list. Those with ability either became firewood or are still imprisoned. There are almost no ability users who can escape Chi Feng's sight.

There is a third possibility: after the resistance army was defeated, a large number of people and supplies were scattered across the land, and they lost all contact with Chifeng.

But if ordinary people obtain them, there is a chance they will inherit those resources—this is a good thing, as it strengthens the collective power of humanity, which is better than being buried forever underground.

"I came here in search of the Crimson Peak," Tendou Kagura replied, seemingly unrelated to the question.

After a moment of silence, the man in white said, "The Red Blade Army is different from the Resistance..."

“Isn’t the Red Blade just the resistance army?” Tendou Kagura replied.

The man in white felt a sense of relief. In his view, this meant that the Heavenly Dao God Music had recognized Chi Feng. Chi Feng was currently fighting alone and was constantly being questioned. Many people within the organization were also wavering. This answer could soothe the anxieties of many.

“Many people don’t think that way,” he sighed.

Tendou Kagura frowned but didn't say anything more.

"What system are you from?" the man asked casually.

The resistance has always tried to keep the information about mysterious abilities a closely guarded secret, fearing that some ignorant humans might overthink it, so the control is very strict.

Although he had never seen pork, he had seen pigs run and thought that Tendo Kagura should be part of the warrior system.

Having managed to escape the pursuit of the Shadow Creatures, he was by no means a weakling; back in the Resistance era, he would have been at least a squad leader in the Blood Blade.

But he doesn't have any abnormal features, and he's wearing goggles. Is the mutated part located in the eye area...?

He ruled out the possibility that Kagura Tendou was a high-sequence transcendent being, since such people only existed in legends, and even the resistance army didn't have many transcendents back then.

"Could you tell me about the system?"

The man's expression was strange, as if he felt that Tendou Kagura was trying to harm him: "I don't want to be singled out and shot by Chifeng..." Although Chifeng didn't manage things much, he had no reason to do something that wouldn't benefit him.

Tendou Kagura said calmly, "Then I need to see the higher-ups at Chifeng."

Upon seeing this, the man frowned deeply, but said nothing. Kagura had become somewhat arrogant after becoming a Devil Fruit user.

We had a smooth journey and arrived at Chifeng Fortress.

Those who wound my heart shall die: Chapter Five: Crimson Edge Fortress [Fifth Update]

This place was originally a fortified city, but now it has become the base of Chifeng. It has been built to be extremely solid, and many rhomboid mirrors have been attached to the outside. They have been placed in different positions in an extremely complex and reasonable arrangement, reflecting the light layer by layer. The light source is unknown, but it illuminates the gray sky very brightly, making it brightly lit.

The area was crowded with all sorts of people. Trucks and heavy trucks came and went in droves, transporting resources and traversing different roads. Many patrol teams were conducting inspections, and groups of soldiers were moving in and out. The overall atmosphere was extremely quiet. Unless absolutely necessary, almost no one spoke. Everyone's face was tense, like a silent powder keg.

It's worth mentioning that the ordinary soldiers here are still wearing uniforms from the resistance era.

The bright yellow military uniform was extremely eye-catching, as if symbolizing the sun, leaving a deep impression on Kagura Tendo.

After the convoy passed through the outer defense line, the people in the cars visibly relaxed.

No one inquired about the origins of Tendou Kagura.

Once inside, the place felt more like a place of daily life, but you could hardly see any children. Everyone there was an adult elite, and they acted with clear purpose.

The man in white took off his coat and led Tendou Kagura to the registration desk, where many other people were also going through the identification process.

After the resistance collapsed, only the Red Army was able to form a relatively complete social structure.

Tendou Kagura opened her dark eyes and scanned the Crimson Edge Fortress at an extremely fast speed.

The city was quite large, but he could only see about ten thousand people; most of the area was abandoned…

And there were no children or elderly people present...

Tendou Kagura sensed something subtly unusual here.

"Her name is Kagura, and she's an esper!" The person who brought Kagura here said to a female staff member across the workbench.

Upon hearing the words "ability user," the staff member subconsciously looked up at Kagura Tendo.

Nowadays, there are very few ability users who have been left out. They have all been summoned back by Chi Feng, either standing up, being imprisoned, or being brought back as corpses.

She typed "Kagura" into the opened interface, but the result surprised her. She looked up and said, "This name is strange. There is no one named Kagura in the database, and there is no homonym for it either."

Upon hearing this, the man immediately frowned, utterly bewildered as to why Tendo Kagura would give him a false name.

"Your real name."

"I am Kagura. Please take me to see the higher-ups at Akamine." Kagura closed her Dark Eyes, glanced around at the situation, then raised her head and said calmly.

"I don't have that right."

"Then let the higher-ups come see me." Kagura Tendo reached into his robes, instantly alerting the man, who instinctively pulled away. The next moment, however, the man's expression turned to utter astonishment.

In the bright light, seven extremely sharp, irregularly shaped, triangular, jet-black crystals were now visible on Kagura's hand.

He originally wanted to refuse, but Tendo Kagura had too many Shadow Crystals.

So he stood there, stunned, racking his brains but unable to figure out where these things came from—could they have been lost from the resistance?

However, it is unlikely that Chifeng has no relevant records. The resistance army coveted the crystals of the Shadow Creatures, which were extremely scarce. There is no reason for them to record such a valuable resource.

Moreover, there are a full seven pieces. The crystals of Shadow Creatures are different from the solidified blood bodies of the Warrior system, and are extremely difficult to obtain.

Many people present stared wide-eyed at the crystal in Tendo Kagura's hand.

This information was classified as top secret during the resistance era, and it remains confidential even for Chifeng today, although Chifeng doesn't care much about information blockade.

But it can't be leaked either, because no one knows if Chifeng will label the leaker as an inhumane and then drag them out and shoot them.

The commotion alerted a patrol team in white uniforms, and a group of them arrived, but they didn't understand what had happened.

The patrol captain was tall with a square face and a buzz cut, his sharp eyes fixed on Kagura Tendo.

"Where did you get these crystals from!"

As they spoke, the patrol team cocked their guns, and the twelve dark muzzles were pointed at Tendou Kagura almost simultaneously.

Kagura Tendou stood tall and motionless, calmly saying, "That thing is useless to me. I need to see your higher-ups."

Chifeng possesses identity information archives of all humankind throughout complete periods, facilitating management and verification.

Tendou Kagura had no intention of pretending to be a local; time was of the essence, and getting straight to the point was the quickest option.

Although the drawbacks are also obvious, such as this kind of treatment...

"Put the crystal down and raise your hands!" The patrol captain completely ignored Kagura Tendo's words and roared, his facial muscles tense.

All the people and staff who were processing their identity documents also withdrew, showing no intention of watching. The person who brought Tendo Kagura saw that things were not going well and was the first to run away, running as far as he could, fearing that he would be mistakenly killed by the patrol team, which would be too terrible.

Kagura narrowed his eyes. These people's reactions were not normal. They were probably bitten by a vicious dog before, and probably had several large chunks of flesh bitten off. So now he suspected that he was also a vicious dog.

Those eerie creatures left them with deep psychological trauma, and the slightest disturbance would startle their nerves.

But this is an inevitable hurdle. He is in a hurry and has no time to lie in wait and disguise himself to silently observe the structure of the Crimson Edge. Moreover, the duration of this arrival is probably not too long.

Drop drop! ! !

A piercing alarm sounded, red lights flashed in the corridor, and more soldiers rushed over, surrounding Tendou Kagura.

After surveying the area, Tendou Kagura found that everyone seemed to be on high alert, and that people couldn't trust each other. He was extremely disgusted by this kind of social relationship. Although Chifeng's situation was understandable, he felt it was a waste of time.

But none of these people fired a shot, so Kagura Tendou also overreacted, standing still and repeatedly stating, "Your things are useless against me, I do not wish to fight."

The captain was sweating profusely, staring intently at Tendo Kagura without uttering a word.

"You should calm down and not do anything to hurt us all," Kagura Tendo said coldly. At that moment, many red lasers were aimed at his vital points, and snipers set up their rifles outside.

Those people had resolute eyes, as if they were ready to die at any moment.

Tendou Kagura frowned slightly, having to consider whether to withdraw from Chifeng Fortress. If they concentrated their fire on him inside Chifeng Fortress, he could hardly guarantee his safety and might even end up in a sorry state. He wouldn't die, though; he could use his points and Meteorite to cause a huge uproar and escape.

But this was a pointless internal conflict, and he was unsure about Chi Feng's fighting strength. The resistance army was able to drive out the outer gods, which seemed unfathomable. Even if Chi Feng had inherited one-tenth of the former's fighting strength, he could still be considered extremely strong.

Those who break my heart must die: Chapter Six: The Shadow Ability User [Sixth Update]

He was worried that he would suffer a great loss, so there was no need for conflict. He would wait until these people calmed down before having a second conversation.

They stood still, locked in a stalemate for a full half minute. Neither side made a move, both waiting silently. Tiandao Kagura could have stood there for half a day until they decided whether to break off relations. But the people on the other side seemed to have received some kind of order. The captain made a gesture, and they all distanced themselves, retreating to a distance of more than twenty meters.

Fortunately, the hall was spacious enough, otherwise their operation would have been difficult to carry out.

Soon, three figures dressed in black boots, black robes, and black masks, completely covering themselves, with a wide belt tightly tied around their waists, appeared in the registration hall.

"Ability user!"

Tendou Kagura stared at those people, but he did not activate his Dark Eyes, fearing it would escalate the conflict.

However, he could still sense it.

The three men had opened a mysterious door, a kind of spiritual threat, like the shadowy creatures he had encountered before—a silent and persistent threat, though the sense of threat was greatly reduced in the bright environment.

The patrol team breathed a sigh of relief upon their arrival, but remained vigilant and dared not relax their guard.

"Are you Blood Blade?" Tendou Kagura asked tentatively.

Bloodblade was the most mysterious unit during the resistance era. Many people didn't know if it actually existed or if it was just a rumor, but Kagura Tendou felt that it wasn't entirely unfounded.

"We are the Shadows, the Blood Blade has long been disbanded. You have revealed that you do not understand this world!"

Of the three, the one standing in the middle spoke, his voice hoarse.

Kagura Tendou's heart tightened, and she said without backing down, "I never intended to hide anything. This is my sincerity, and you should respond accordingly."

His expression was cold and stern. He glanced at the gun barrels still pointed at him. They were undoubtedly an elite force. If he made the slightest move, they would unleash their firepower on his location.

A chill ran through Tendou Kagura's heart. This was a group of warriors who were fearless in the face of death. There was no fear in their eyes. They would not hesitate to die even if ordered by their superiors.

Is this Chifeng?!

The shadowy figure continued, "We sensed your gaze. Your eyes swept across the entire Crimson Edge Fortress just now. We need to determine your threat level."

However, Kagura Tendou performed reasonably well. Countless gun barrels were pointed at his head, and infrared rays wove a large net around his body, yet the outsider did not retaliate. This was enough for an ability user.

The shadowy figure on the left gave a gesture, and all the gun barrels were lowered. The patrol team withdrew, leaving space for Kagura Tendou and the shadowy figure.

"Your power comes from shadowy creatures, is it this?" Kagura Tendou raised the crystal in her hand.
